Yes, i went in to do a specific procedure. But the dentist tried to drill on a different location without telling me what he/she was doing. That to me is illegal. Even if it's on the same location, he/she would have to tell me what he/she was doing. LOL...there's a reason i fear dentist hence need protection.
You generally sign a consent form when you show up at the dentist’s office. Carefully read this form and every paper you are handed to see to what exactly you are consenting.
Every dentist I have ever been to in my lifetime has always talked - a LOT - about the weather, their kids, my kids, and about what they are doing in my mouth. And I have always had the opportunity to stop any procedure if I wanted to, for whatever reason, even while being worked on.
If you have concerns about a dentist in particular, talk to the dentist before any work is done. Let the dentist know you want a step-by-step description of what he is doing, for your own peace of mind.
If you have concerns about dentists in general, that probably requires outside help from a professional. People seek professional help for all sorts of fears - fear of flying, fear of spiders, fear of germs - and I understand that the right therapy can work to alleviate or eliminate the fears.
With all of that said
, ask your next dentist for a written treatment plan. If the dentist refuses to provide one (his option), seek out another dentist.
Good luck.
